What to Order is the definitive guide to the world cuisines through a selection of their best dishes served in restaurants around the world. Picked by experts, fully illustrated and packed with tips and useful information so anyone can try a new exciting cuisine wherever they live.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each cuisine is explained through 20 dishes that nationals order at restaurants, a brief introduction to the cuisine, practical tips and eating custom. So you can enjoy your food like locals do.
Since we collect menus from cities all over the world, we can be sure that those dishes are served at restaurants outside of their countries. Then, a group of collaborators natives select the most popular dishes and explain to us why they’re so good and how to enjoy them. Each dish appears with the most common name in English, transliteration and original language, so it can be easily identified even if the menu is in a foreign language.
